Some readers on the blog have said as much in talking about concessions the UAW might be asked to make as GM goes for a Congressional stay of execution.

But is there any other choice? Sure, the jobs bank program -- a nice idea in civilized times -- is a good thing. (Stop it. It is. If you were laid off, wouldn't you want some protection and time to find something else?) But when the plane is overweight and dropping fast, don't you toss off everything not nailed down in order to avoid a crash?

So here's today's question: If you are/were in the UAW and GM asked to reopen the contract, would you?
